This weekend we were feeling like making an ocean craft. It’s been a while since we got out our Fun Chalk markers so we pulled them out with some paper plates and came up with this super fun Paper Plate Kids Craft using liquid chalk. The Fun Chalk not only adds fun, bright detail to the fish but it’s a great way to make the craft more open-ended where kids can create a truly unique fish. You might want to whip out several paper plates just for yourself because it’s so much fun you’re going to want to make more than one.

1. Start by painting the bottom of your paper plate with black paint and set it aside to dry completely.2. Cut two triangles out of your colored cardstock paper, one for the tail fin and one for the side fin.
3. Once your paper plate has finished drying, use your scissors and cut a triangle out of the end of the plate to make a mouth. Glue your googly eye onto your paper plate.
